Jerry is a recovering drug addict and ex-gang member. Through the help of his lawyer Tom, Jerry is placed in housing, but he struggles to find work.

Tom’s daughter Susan takes an interest in Jerry. She works at a dog training school and encourages Jerry to become a dog trainer. He reluctantly agrees. The two bond while training a dog named Toby and develop a romantic attraction.

Susan, however, is engaged to John, who is suspicious of Jerry. John eventually reveals that he is marrying Susan to secure a business deal.

In addition, Jerry is falsely accused of stealing a purse at the school, and he quits in protest. Meanwhile, Susan realizes she knew Jerry in high school. Susan leaves John and Jerry proposes to Susan with an airplane banner. Jerry also reveals he has an estranged father who lives in Japan.

En route to graduation day at the dog training school, Jerry is mortally injured in a car crash. Susan rushes from her wedding dress fitting to the hospital, where Jerry dies.

Susan moves forward with the wedding, contracting a computer graphics expert to project a digital version of Jerry during the ceremony. At the end of the wedding, the spirit of Jerry appears, and the two are married. Jerry’s father offers Susan a check for $10,000,000, which she refuses.

Years later, Susan still lives alone with multiple dogs descended from Toby. Her ex-fiancé John has now married her best friend Kelly, and her father Tom reveals he accepted the $10,000,000 check and invested it. Susan uses the money to build dog shelters in Jerry’s name. Jerry and Toby look down from heaven.
